Hakimi Set for Trial Amid World Cup Pressure
from Global News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
Morocco’s star captain Achraf Hakimi faces trial for a 2023 rape allegation in Paris, after prosecutors rejected his appeal to dismiss the case — a move his lawyer says brings hope for victims and breaks silence on sexual violence in football. Hakimi, who denies the claims and blames fame for targeting him, prepares to lead Morocco into World Cup action, but could face travel bans if the team advances, as Canada may deny entry to those with pending criminal charges — echoing the case of Ghana’s Thomas Partey, also facing trial next year and barred from Canada.
